Remote start - auto fans

[Josh42089]

I have a 21 custom Silverado 1500. Whenever I remote start the fans always kick on full blast, even with the fans off to begin with.  Is this normal for this trim level?  My other vehicle I could enable or disable that feature but this one doesn’t have that.

There is a vehicle personalization feature for auto fan speed - not sure if that will affect the speed. You can set it low, med, or high when the climate controls are in auto. What is the ambient and interior temps like when you auto start the car? FWIW, mine does not blow crazy fast when I auto start on a mild day. If it's hot, then yes it blows harder. They typically try to control to the low 70s during auto start.

I looked in the personalization settings and couldn’t find anything for that.
The custom doesn’t have the auto climate feature. No digital dials. Just the manual dials without the digital temp. If I auto start and passengers get in before I turn the key they just get blasted with cold air. Would be nice to have it engage at what the dial is previously set at.

Wasn’t sure if it was supposed to have the fan feature to change with auto start and was just missing it. It was missing the rear seat reminder feature so It wouldn’t surprise me lol.

On the custom trim it’s all based on ambient temps outside bc it doesn’t have dual climate control...unfortunately their is no way to control the fan speed on remote starts it goes on full blast all the time

Here's how it works on manual climate:
